## Resource

The resignations have begun, putting Keir Starmer’s premiership teetering on the brink. Victims minister Alex Davies-Jones joined safeguarding minister Jess Phillips this afternoon in standing down from government, as would-be challengers Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham work on their succession plans. As Westminster waits on tenterhooks, Camilla and Tim are joined by suspended Labour MP Karl Turner who calls the situation “barmy” and offers the damning assessment that “ on the doorstep, Keir Starmer is more toxic than Jeremy Corbyn ever was.” We want to hear from you!
